It’s sad. So sad! We are the world’s wealthiest country. We just increased taxes on and stripped benefits from the poor—all to feed the WEALTHY. Uncaringly ruthless Republicans, bought off by the WEALTHY, have an agenda of pain and suffering for the poor, the needy, the sinking middle class. For heaven’s sake, give heathcare, childcare, food assistance, and LIVING wages to everyone. Charge the total cost to the WEALTHY billionaires. They cannot be satisfied, and need their greedy asses kicked for this carnage. They are funding the ruthlessness; they are gouging and gorging. To what purpose is their $ billions? Hoarding alone. Outlaw this hoarding! They cannot spend it all, yet they fund tax cuts only for themselves. Sound about right to you? I made protest signs for your upcoming protests. Protesting is now critical for Occupied D.C. We must fill the streets! There is just enough time to get signs printed for your protest group. Fill the hands of the signless with signs…or hoagies. Where are your signs? It is time to post them so that others can use them. FreeDC!
Should have listened to Kamala, she did her best to warn us of what would happen if the felon was elected the country’s president! Now we are seeing the destruction that he and his regime are bringing down on our once “Great Country”!
My first memory is of hearing Roosevelt announce Pearl Harbor on a radio. My own long ago career covered lots of politics starting briefly with Cox newspapers from Washington in 1963.. then New York magazine, NYtimes, Ms., a weekly column …, it was possible to earn a living free lancing then. I stood in the snow and watched Reagan sworn in, very tired and cross, fearing the worst. The unimaginable worst was yet to come.
…….and now everything is different. And I am old. But I am very very angry, shocked, bewildered, outraged etc.
Heather Cox Richardson had gotten me this far ( how on earth does she do it?) and then came the Contrarian…. A merry crew writing, despite their firm intelligence and authority with cheer and confidence. It helps to live in Boston.
What you said about HCR. "National treasure" doesn't do her justice. I also wonder how Buddy manages it. What's it like to be share your life partner with the whole world??
I love what you are doing. I don't have time to watch all your videos...much prefer the written word, but I will keep subscribing just for all the great legal work you are doing. It's very much appreciated.
Your tireless efforts Jennifer, Norm et al. to bring factual ever-breaking news and LIVE events is immeasurably appreciated by every one of your devoted Contrarians. Truly you are a lifeline and a springboard for the necessity of immediate/emergent ACTION by ALL Americans. SO very grateful for ALL you continue to do.🩵
Thanks for the 'FAQ' with answers, I'll keep it for reference. Carry on the great work! I happily pay $7/month knowing it helps fund the legal actions and reporting. You are a light in the dark times we face. Carry on!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Couldn’t get through these past 6 months without your wisdom, insights and overall contributions! Truly the best $7 spent! Take good care!
I like hearing from the insiders such as Andrew Weismann and Mary McCord as well as some of the best legal experts Abbe Lowell and others. The interviews and written columns are both great. I really like both formats as well as Coffee with The Contrarians. I like that it’s all current information especially the livestreams!
Thank you for your reporting. I like the varied voices here. I believe it is good to hear more than one person's 'take' even in factual reporting. Stand up, stand out, and keep this platform moving forward.
I'd still like a transcript of every video. I know that is available in desktop but not Android phones or probably tablets. I have seen this request again and and again. Krugman does it. Could you update us on that? And thank you for all your do.
Yes, when you listen to a video, and your concentration is interrupted, you lose the context and sometimes it’s difficult to catch up, so you rewind, and play it again. It would be so great to be able to just read it, and be able to pause when interrupted,etc. without losing the train of thought. Or sometimes you want to reread what just came before to make it more understandable.
Thank you for all you do. 💕
I know I am getting the best news, from trusted sources, and also help pay for the wonderful legal work you do.

Keep on…… you are doing great!
I want all you can give.
I found you the morning you started…so grateful.

I imagine Buddy ( and living in Maine) is part of why she gets restored and can do so much.
Me too! Keep bringing it!
I believe we all bolster each other...

Me too!
Thank you for your constant efforts to improve an already top notch Substack for your subscribers.

Your coverage keeps me (somewhat) sane and hopeful. All my gratitude and respect for your work.

These FAQ's were very helpful. I have trouble explaining what Substack is and how it works, what the Contrarian is, and how to access it.
The best 7.00 spent ever. Key information, a refuge, and inspiration.
Kudos🎉🎉🎉 to you all.
Love your videos, cuppa with you gladly, writing superb. Thank you!

A transcript would be so welcome.
